    For the Browns it was, absolutely brilliant. I would not be shocked if the league bans moves like this in the future.



    I am not being sarcastic here, not even a little

    I agree. I don't think the league will like salary dump trades.

    The whole point of requiring teams to spend cap is to increase parity, not have teams selling cap space for draft pics.

    Yeah, goes against the spirit of the law. Which is why I can see them finding a way to stop this. That league office is full of lawyers after all

    it was a good trade on both parts.

    Osweiler doesn't matter. The Browns got an extra 2nd round pick in 2018 in exchange for cap space. The Texans freed up much needed cap space in exchange for giving up their 2nd rounder. It was a win-win for both teams.


    May or may not happen, but that's just more ammunition for the Browns to try and trade for JimmyG.

    But why is it smart for the Browns to spend all that cap scape and get no productivity out of it?

    Would you trade 10 million of Titans cap space for an extra second rounder?

    I would.

    When is the last time the Titans have been in a season with less than 10 mil in cap space? When is the last time the Browns have?

    BO will cost them 16 million this year. If a second round pick is worth 16 mill plus the salary of the player drafted then ok.
    Its the browns, while i see what they are doing, its still the Browns and ill believe it will work when i see it.

    Because they were not going to use it anyway. The Browns have insane cap space because of one good ants to go there. They we're actually going to have trouble meeting the minimum amount of cap space to use.

    Not sure he technically qualifies, but Osweiler has already been added to the infamous Browns QB jersey.
